06/08/26. Just got this text from RinGo saying I owe money for parking. It says my account was checked and there’s still some unpaid fees. They want me to pay right away so I don’t get extra fines or more hassle. The message includes a link to their so-called “official website” where you’re meant to put your car reg to see the details. It also tells you to reply with “Y” and then reopen the text to get the link going – sounds dodgy to me. Also, noticed they spelt “Services” wrong, with two s’s at the end. That’s a red flag if I ever saw one. My advice: don’t reply to this, just block the number and ignore it.

Got a call from some unknown digits, no voicemail left or anything. It was one of those numbers that keep popping up - got a few calls from similar ones, twice just yesterday. None of them left messages or said who they were. Probably just another spam or sales pitch kind of thing, but you never know if it’s some kind of scam. I've blocked those numbers and marked them as spam, like I did with the others in the series.

Got a call today at 6.24pm from 07404 519573, totally out of the blue. Thankfully, my call blocker got it before I even answered. No voicemail was left, which makes me pretty sure it was a scam. I've gone ahead and blocked and wiped the number from my phone.

This is totally a scam. They called saying I’d bought an iPhone 16 on Amazon and that they’d sent me a security code. Then they asked me to give the code back to them. Don’t fall for it, just ignore!

Got a call from someone pretending to be from GOV.UK, total scam. Don’t bother replying or clicking any links they send, just block the number and report it as spam. Stay safe out there!

Got a missed call out of the blue today, but my phone didn’t even make a sound. No voicemail or anything either, which was a bit strange. Had a quick search for the number and found nothing that connected to it. Feels like it might be one of those scam attempts.

Heads up! Got a call from someone pretending to be from my bank's fraud team, warning me about some dodgy transactions. It was an automated message saying stuff like: "Hello, this is Visa security. We've noticed two suspicious charges on your account today, one for £99 at Amazon and another for £700..." Sounded fishy. The number showed up as normal, but I reckon it was spoofed. Definitely a scam – I've had the same script come through a while back. Stay cautious!

Somebody said they were from EE but I was caught up and couldn’t check. They rang me back a few times very fast, so in the end I decided to block the number.

Somebody rang me pretending to be from First Direct and said there were two fraudulent transactions on my account. Totally dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call at 7pm from an unfamiliar number but didn’t pick up. They didn’t leave any voicemail either. Usually, these calls come through in the late morning for me.

Even after I asked them to stop, they kept ringing me, honestly quite rude!

This number has rung me a few times already so I’ve blocked it. Still, my phone keeps showing incoming calls from it and that’s really frustrating. Just tonight I got one again. There’s loads of other numbers like it with the same beginning that keep trying too. Being older, I get way more of these nuisance calls than ones from people I actually know. Makes you question if having a phone is even worth it these days...

Got a voicemail from what said was my bank, saying there's some dodgy activity on my account, and something about Amazon trying to take out two big payments. Total rubbish, if you ask me! They said to press one button to accept or another to ask about it – absolute nonsense. If you ever get a message like this, just don’t press anything, seriously just hang up or ignore it. These scammers are just the worst kind of slime.

Mate, seriously? The comment you just left is just plain daft.

Heads up! I got a message from this number saying: “GOVUK: Your crypto tax filing is overdue. Please finish your declaration soon to dodge fines and keep your tax info current: cryptocurrency-declare.com” Obviously that’s not a legit government site! Stay cautious folks!

Since May, this creeps gone through 20 different numbers. What a proper sad bloke.

This is definitely spam. Every time I answer, all I hear is some shuffling noises, and then they don’t speak at all before hanging up in about 12 seconds. I always just block and report these calls.

Somebody with a really annoying accent kept getting my name all wrong, then just ended the call and I had to block the number.

Avoid this number at all costs, it's a total scam! I got an email claiming to be from Lloyds, but it wasn’t legitimate at all. They wanted me to ring that fake contact number they provided. Definitely don’t fall for it!

Got a call on my landline with some robot voice warning me about dodgy bank activity. Total nonsense if you ask me.

I got a call from Sevenoaks, England, but they didn’t leave a message. I’m guessing it’s one of those scam calls because they often use numbers that make it look like they’re local, but really they’re calling from some overseas centre. Anyway, I’ve blocked the number now 🚫

Got a ring from this number, just once, then nothing. Heads up, it’s a premium number that’ll cost you plenty if you try calling it back to find out who’s behind it.

Got a dodgy text asking if my mum had returned a call. Totally spammy, didn't bother replying.

My phone flagged the number as spam, so I chose not to pick up.

If ya get a call from CR finance, just hang up and block the number straight away. Then, you can upload a recording of the call on the right websites to warn others.
